We're talking with The Atlantic's David Frum about his new book about President Trump, called "Trumpocracy: The Corruption of The American Republic." Frum's argument: Trump is undermining American institutions.

David Frum is a conservative intellectual who first became widely known as a speechwriter for a Republican president. For George W. Bush’s 2002 State of the Union address, Frum coined the phrase “Axis of Evil” to describe America’s enemies. Now he has become a leading voice against President Trump, arguing in a new book that American democracy itself is in danger.
